Of course they will be! Just not every current example as collectibility is inversely proportional to the number built. For example, one of my bikes is an oversized tube model, it is from long before my period-correct Vitus 979, it has bulge-formed lugs with something like Christmas card glitter slathered all over them, its pedigree was used an an example in the Klein-Cannondale lawsuit. I happen to have serial #6 and it is a Hi-E Cosmopolitan and it's a classic Aluminum bike right now!
